Intervals & Show Days
Every habit has a schedule with two moving parts: an interval (how often the completion goal resets) and show days (which days the habit actually appears in your list). This page covers how they work together.
The Interval - How Often the Goal Resets
The interval defines the window you have to hit the completion goal.
| Interval | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Per Day | The goal must be met each scheduled day, independently |
| Per Week | The goal must be met within each calendar week; completions stack across days |
| Per Month | The goal must be met within each calendar month |
A habit set to "3 times per week" lets you do it Monday/Wednesday/Friday, or three times on Sunday - the weekly total is what matters. A habit set to "1 time per day" needs a log each day it's scheduled.
Show Days - When It Appears
Show days control which days the habit card shows up in your list. You can pick:
- Weekdays - any combination of Monday through Sunday ("weekdays only", "every day", "just Tuesdays and Thursdays").
- Month dates - specific days of the month ("the 1st and 15th", "the last Friday").
Only show days count toward your streaks, HP, and completion tracking. A day that isn't a show day is skipped entirely - no missed day, no penalty.
Show days are a scheduling tool, not a workload tool
Use show days to match the rhythm of the habit to the rhythm of your life. If you only go to the gym Mon/Wed/Fri, only show the habit on those days - missing Tuesday shouldn't count against you.
How They Combine
The interval and show days work together. A few examples:
| Setup | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Per Day + every weekday | Log once each Mon-Fri; weekends don't count |
| Per Day + just Tue/Thu | Must log on each Tuesday and each Thursday |
| Per Week + every weekday | Weekly goal accumulates across Mon-Fri |
| Per Month + 1st & 15th | Monthly goal, habit only pops up twice a month as a reminder |
Changing a Schedule Mid-Week
You can edit the schedule at any time. Scope keeps a history of your previous schedules so that old completion data stays accurate - a log from last month still counts against last month's goal, not today's.
For weekly and monthly habits, a mid-period change asks you where the new goal should take effect:
- From now on - the old goal still applies to the current week/month; the new one starts next cycle.
- From the start of the current cycle - the new goal applies retroactively to the entire current week/month.
Most edits default to "from now on," which is usually what you want.
Streaks and Schedule Changes
A streak resets only when you change the interval type (daily ↔ weekly ↔ monthly). Changing show days, or tweaking the completion goal, doesn't break a streak. That's deliberate - the game should never punish you for tuning the scheduling to match your life.
